The late Captain Blomer used to take this very interesting 

 insect plentifully in Devonshire; Ford Wood is one of the 

 localities there for it, and Dartmoor another; it is taken also 

 in Cain Wood, Middlesex; Bagley Wood, Berkshire, near 

 Oxford; Apsley Wood, and near Bedford, Bedfordshire; near 

 Deal, Faversham, Canterbury, and at Combe Wood, Kent. It 

 occurs near Falmouth, but rarely; W. P. Cocks, Esq. has taken 

 it there; also not very uncommonly near Great Bedwyn and 

 Sarum, Wiltshire, as J. W. Lukis, Esq. informs me; and at 

 Langham Lodge Wood j:)lentifully, as also in Hartley Wood 

 and Maiden Wood, near St. Osyth, and in the High Woods, 

 near Colchester, Essex; it has also been taken at Peckham, 

 Surrey, near London. I have never yet seen it on the wing, 

 but live in hope of being able to chronicle its capture on some 

 "Red-letter day." 



It is "out" in the end of June and the beginning of July; 

 the end, and even the beginning of May, is also given as a 

 date for it; but I think it must be a mistake. It frequents 

 woods, heaths, and marshes. 



The caterpillar feeds on the broad -leaved plantain, and the 

 narrow-leaved plantain.
